Welcome to the internet home of The Oracle, the newest and most exciting youth venue in Blackpool, Lancashire, England. Opening on 11th June 2012, The Oracle aims to offer young people aged 11 to 24 opportunities to further themselves, learn new skills, express themselves through music and the arts and above all, provides a safe and exciting space to socialise with each other.<\/p>\n

The Oracle was created by young people, for young people and operated by young people. They are at the heart of decision making at the venue in a variety of ways; from sitting on the Management Board to leaving suggestions in our many consultations.<\/p>\n

The venue is currently open at a variety of times 6 days a week. From Business Breakfasts which encourage employers to take on young apprentices starting at 8:30am, employability workshops starting at 12:30pm or our youth work provisions and events taking place in the evenings \u2013 The Oracle is a hub of activity focused on providing a wealth of opportunity to young people in the Blackpool area.<\/p>\n

We are currently working hard to ensure that the building is ready for our youth work provisions to begin as possible! Our whole staff team is almost in place, we have some exciting technology soon to be installed and some big ideas for the future!<\/p>\n\"\"\"\"\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
